Deadpool Animated TV Series Coming to FXX

Variety has reported that FXX has picked up a Deadpool animated series co-created by Donald Glover and his screenwriter brother Stephen Glover. The first ten-episode season is set to premiere sometime in 2018.

The Deadpool animated series would be Fox’s third television series to their X-Men franchise after Legion and the recently picked up The Gifted. Marvel’s Jeph Loeb will act as producer with Glovers serving as showrunners.

“How much more fun could this be? Deadpool, Donald and FX – the perfect fit for the Merc with the Mouth,” Loeb said. “We’re thrilled that our relationship with FX that started with Legion continues with what is sure to be a groundbreaking show in adult animation.”
